The Italian Sub recommended by ChatGPT, originated in 1995. The place claims to provide the best…read moreItalian sub in Boston, and it truly was excellent. Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office. After about 40 minutes, the bread had become somewhat dry and hard.

Arguably the best sandwich in Boston I was not let down by Monica's…read more The line was long on a Sunday but very orderly and went smoothly. The sandwiches themselves are massive and freshly made. The bread is the right amount of soft to crust. All in all I wouldn't change a thing it's definitely a must go.

Yes, does remind me of places in Italy, where qualityof ingredients is paramount, bread important, etc. It's a fast paced place, and the line moves quickly... they have it down. I wanted to love fall in love with it, but have to say, the two I tried did not blow me away. I liked LA SUMMER Proscuitto, Mozzerella, Tomato, Basil better than their top selling FAVOLOSA made with salame toscana, pecorino cream, artichoke cream, and spicy eggplant. Think next time I will try the VENICE BEACH Turkey, tomato, mozzarella. The sandwiches are huge, more like 2 sandwiches, so pricing is fine. RECOMMENDED

Got the Italiana. It had Prociutto, stracciatella, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, and pistacio cream…read more The sweet and creaminess from the pistachio cream, the saltiness from the prosciutto, and the arugula and sundried tomatoes helped prevent it from being too heavy. I thought everything was quite balanced. The sandwich was about $21. Which I thought was reasonable because it was big enough to feed two people. There werent much of a wait when I was there, so service was quick. You order at the counter and they make your sandwich. Just tell them what you want and Bada Bing, Bada boom: you got your sandwich in a couple of minutes. They have seating inside and out. It was a nice day so my gf and I decided to do a picnic outside on the grass at the Boston Common. Nothing like enjoying a nice sandwich and watching all the sketchy weirdos walking around.

One of my local favorites! You can never go wrong here. The portions are huge and the food is…read moredelicious. I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out. The cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)

Baked gnocchi is a must-have. The fresh basil on top of everything was a nice flavorful touch. Generous cheese, generous portions, and quick and personable service.

We were treated very nicely as soon as we walked in. Very well staffed and everyone had a smile on their face. My son ordered chicken parm and I got a grilled chicken. The sub size is amazing. You will not believe how big the rolls are. They are the equivalent of 2 subs but the price is relatively cheap! As we waited, we both noticed how busy they were. The phone was ringing and the there was a ton of foot traffic picking up and placing orders. The lady who is in charge was so sweet. She makes everyone feel right at home and welcome! What a nice touch! Our food was ready rather quickly. We got 2 cans of soda and a brownie. The price was very reasonable! Considering how big the roll is, we got a 2 for 1 deal! How did it take me this long to eat here? I found the location on social media. We will definitely be back! Price: cheap considering how much we got Parking: easy....Eastern Ave or side streets Vibe: inviting/welcome Will I be back? For sure....if they were open tomorrow, I would go back tomorrow! Looking forward to trying a few different things and possibly sitting at the bar! 5 stars!!

I remember it loaded with chicken fresh off the flat top covered in a delicious gravy & mushroom's. Today I was a little disappointed because first of all my order involved no ham and no cheese . I suppose mistakes happen when you make it a certain way every day in and out since 1950's, that you don't pay attention to the little things like people that are lactose intolerant or allergic to ham. Reluctantly, they made me a new sandwich that had one itty-bitty piece of chicken in it breaded,& the delicious gravy. It felt a little light the second time around and it was reported to me that the lady that took the order and placed the sandwich in my friends hand had an attitude. I know my one little sandwich won't make her break your business, but it seems to have an effect when you had to do it over. Try better next time thanks.

The peppers weren't spicy but added perfect acid to the whole pizza. The dough was amazing and it was flawlessly cooked (which for a true Napolitano pizza is a challenge) which is a good sign for any pizza from here. The wife had the Gnochetti which had the important trick of knowing to mix the gnocchi and the short rib into one amazing concoction. Trust me on this one. We closed with the Nutella pizza which I've had at numerous other restaurants and Ciao's was hands down the best ever. Make sure to save room for this... seriously. We really fell in love with Ciao! and will 100% be coming back the next time we're in town.

The woman behind the counter was also really helpful in guiding me to the right choice, and she nailed it. I will absolutely be back next time I am in the city.
